Local Growth Plan
Gloucestershire’s Local Growth Plan (LGP) sets out a bold and inclusive economic vision to enhance prosperity, the environment and wellbeing for all.
It identifies five core economic missions and champions a collaborative, county-wide approach to delivery, bringing together public sector partners, businesses, education providers, the voluntary sector, and local communities to create opportunities for Gloucestershire’s residents. Through this shared commitment, the plan aims to unlock Gloucestershire’s full economic potential, drive sustainable growth, and improve quality of life across every part of the county. It is designed to serve as a lever for investment by clearly articulating the county’s unique strengths and opportunities.
It has been shaped through stakeholder engagement and has been co-created by all of Gloucestershire’s local authorities reflecting our shared priorities and collective ambition.
The Local Growth Plan is a live and fluid document that will be monitored and reviewed to maintain consistency with local economic priorities. As Gloucestershire progresses through Local Government Reorganisation and its devolution journey, the LGP will need to evolve to become more focused with increased detail on its delivery priorities as additional funding is identified and secured. Its success will depend on strong partnerships and collaborative delivery.
The LGP defines how we will create Gloucestershire’s future - together.
